FIRE PROTECTION FOR PROFESSIONAL KITCHENS

PROTECT YOUR STAFF AND YOUR PATRIMONY

Today’s professional kitchens, with their powerful cooking equipment, are highly exposed to the risk of fire and are never immune to technical malfunctions or human error.

That is why appropriate and specific extinction measures must be implemented with the support of a specialized company having expertise in the protection of professional kitchens. For over 30 years, SAFETY FIRST systems have been providing fire protection for fryers, grills, frying pans, burners, stoves and other cooking appliances to over 6000 clients in the restaurant and hotel industries.

Each year, our technical teams perform more than 5000 installation and maintenance interventions.

FIRE : A MAJOR RISK WHICH REQUIRES REAL EXPERTISE

A fire is a dangerous event that causes enormous damage in unprotected kitchens. Uncontrolled, the volume of a grease fire is doubles every 10 seconds. It risks igniting grease build-up in your ventilation ducts and quickly spreading throughout the building and causing the destruction of your restaurant.

A fire is also a traumatic event for restaurant staff. They are most often ineffective when dealing with a fire: panic and inappropriate actions may result in serious injury to your personnel.

Always guarding your kitchen, SAFETY FIRST’s automatic fire extinction systems protect all cooking equipment that presents a fire hazard 24/7.

REGULATIONS: TRUST A SPECIALIST

The fire safety regulations concerning buildings open to the public (Article GC8) states that “large kitchens, reheating areas and each cooking station must include extinction methods that are adapted to their specific fire risks,” and confirms the obligation to install in all public buildings extinction methods that are adapted to cooking equipment that present a fire hazard.

It also requires the installation of automatic extinction equipment specifically designed for grease fires directly above open fryers in establishments with open kitchens and cooking stations.

SAFETY FIRST guaranties the compliance of your restaurant with all of the security regulations concerning fire protection: GC8, Security commissions, CHSCT, Insurance.

SAFETY FIRST systems comply with the international standards recommendations NFPA® 96 and 17A (National Fire Protection Association) and are to date the only ones to have obtained a CNPP APPROVAL certificate in France (SF/A 300 and SF/P 450).

ACTIVELY GUARDING YOUR KITCHEN!

Taking up very little space, SAFETY FIRST’s modular systems have their place in every professional kitchen and offer numerous configuration possibilities depending on the cooking zones requiring protection

They are installed according to plans developed and validated by our engineers. Whether they are mechanical or electric, stored pressure or auxiliary pressure, standard, tandem or multiple, they guarantee peace of mind and security, night and day

Sprinklers fitted in three distinct areas (above the cooking equipment, in sensors and in the extraction conduits) all release the extinguishing agent to suppress the fire. When it comes into contact with hot or inflamed surfaces, the SAFETY FIRST class F liquid extinguishing agent forms a soapy foam This action, which cools the fat, inhibits the release of flammable vapours and prevents any risk of re-ignition. The extinguishing agent’s non toxicity and low pH prevent damage to your kitchen and enable a rapid resumption of activity.

CONTROLLING THE VENTILATION OF PROFESSIONAL KITCHENS

VENTILATION: 30% OF A PROFESSIONAL KITCHEN’S ENERGY COSTS

Ventilation ensures fresh air, prevents temperature increases, unpleasant odours and condensation: it has a major role in the efficiency and ergonomics of your kitchen.

Without a control system, your kitchen’s ventilation runs at 100% capacity for 100% of the time and weighs very heavily on your energy budget.

ACHIEVE UP TO 60% ENERGY SAVINGS WITH CONCEPT AZUR.

CONCEPT AZUR is an innovative and interactive automatic technical control solution that enables you to:

  • adapt the professional kitchen’s ventilation to your real needs in real time
  • immediately generate very significant energy savings
  • obtain real time progress reports (savings, alerts …)

CONCEPT AZUR is a major reference for large-scale kitchen professionals looking to reconcile economic efficiency and sustainability.

CONCEPT AZUR: THE SIMPLE AND “INTELLIGENT” CONTROL SOLUTION

The CONCEPT AZUR controller enables precise ventilation control thanks to the unique precision of “Blue Iris”: an optical sensor that measures the opacity of vapour and smoke. It adapts motor speeds to real-time identified extraction needs and automatically regulates kitchen hood fan speeds based on two parameters:

  • change in the opacity of vapours and/or smoke from cooking appliances.
  • the temperature in the exhaust ducts

These data are analysed by the “Neuron”, which determines the extraction motor speeds for the hoods and air treatment units.

CONCEPT AZUR is compatible with all types and brands of hoods and adapts to all of your construction and renovation projects.
